Synopsis: [geom] dereference of NULL pointer in acd_geom_detach by g_event

State-Changed-Why: 
There are multiple problems related to acd(4) detach:

1. acd_modevent() ignored the return value from g_modevent(). This has been
   fixed in r198519 and it may actually prevent the reported panic.

2. acd(4) lacks reference counting and softc locking. (PR kern/125139)

3. There are problems with GEOM class unloading. (PR kern/139847)

I am closing this PR because (1) has been fixed and there are duplicate
PRs to cover the other issues.
